Puck.
Miss Thirdseason-We my dear. how
dye do? l thought I'd run over and cheer
you up little for tonight ar-,l
Miss Debutante-You're ever so good.
Pm awfully nervous.
Miss Thirtlseason-O, nonsense you
needn't be. How many bouquets so far?
MISS Debutante-Only eighteen.
Miss ThrdseaSon-It' rather early yet
from to you'll get plenty.
MISS Debutante-I do hope so. Clara
Newcome said she had thirtY-nine last
week! shall die of modification if don't
have as many as that!
Miss Thirdseason-Yo needn't worry!
! In any event, your DEBUT will be more bril-
liant than hers.
Miss Debutante-Oh do you think so?
Miss Thirdseason-Ye s, indeed, it handi-
caps a girl fearfully to come out with an
elder sister, not even engaged.
Miss Debutante-l suppose it does.
MISS Ihirtseason-Oh my, yes. Then
your family connection is so large. You'll
nave plenty OF dinners. teas and routs given
Tor you. and that brings the nien to the
com!hg-o party, you know. - ~"
-iIl'S l'CputdHle-lOeS II: '''
Miss Thirdseason--Ye s. indeed, they'll
be out in force tonight. On general prin-
ciples girls debut is apt to be successful.
GU see, the girls all come to talk sweet to
you, to size you up. as the men say, and
the married bellies come and pet you to dis
cover how dangerous you are going to be,
and. with the male contingent you're sure
to have, there's really nothing to fear to-
night
Miss Debntante-You quite reassure me.
Miss Thirdseason-You QUILL wear white, of
course? i.io !.
Miss Debutante-O, yes. White tulle
and lilies OF the valley. Simple, you know,
but just too sweet fol any use.
Miss Thirdseason-I suppose so. That's
your role just now-sweet simplicity. BY
the way, are you going in for anything?
Miss Debutante-Going in for anything?
Miss Thirdseason-Yes are you going to
be horsy or musical or literary or athletic or
esthetic, or any of that sort of thing?
Miss Debutante-O, l don't know
Ought 1?
Miss Thirdseason-Well no; 1 don't be-
lleve L would. l did, but not for. long.
D!ckey Hunt was leading all the germans
when l came out, and he was the best
parti of the winter, so l went in for dane
ing. He married Nell Carew at Easter;
and, at any rate, it's too warm in the spring
season to dance much so l rather dropped
my speciality.
Miss Debutante-I just love to dance.
Miss ThrdSeason-Yes I know; ''buds"
all dote OH dancng-it's when you get along
in your second season that you like to ''sit
Ii out" OH the stairs and look down on the
dancers and sigh little and remember when
nnfh fi0 fhn, I,n,1
girls inside" That's awfully taking.
Miss Debutante-To whom?
Miss Thirdseason-O, you goosey. To tine
man who is sitting it out with you, of
course.
Miss Debutante-O. yes. But about go
ing in for something-you really don't think
you would then?
Miss Thrdseason-O, no; not this year
anyway. There don't seem to be as many
sets as there used to be. You have to know
everything little, nowadays, and nothing
very well.
Miss Debutante-That's comfort.
Miss Thirdseason-Isn't it! Why, I
talked half an hour the other evening OH
char OscurO, and l can't even spell the
word.
Miss Debutante-How ever did you do it.
Miss Third season-O, let him talk and
tell me all about it, just listening, you
know, in an awfully interested little way,
and occasionally making comment OF ask
ing question that l stole directly from
him.
Miss Debutante-But didn't he suspect
you?
Miss ThirdseasOn-Not he, indeed! He
told Pinkie Talbot the same evening he wa
surprised at my thorough knowledge of
the technique of art. That is our compen-
SatiOn.
Miss Debutante-What?
Miss Thirdseason %, to get OH, you
know, and impress the men Oh so little
capital. But l really must go.
Miss Debutante-O. don't yet. I've lots
to ask you. Do you know Pm afraid /
shan't know what to talk about tonight
Miss Thirdseason-O. yes, YOU will. Did
you see the Greek play?
Miss Debutante-No.
Miss Thirdseason-O, Well, that's old, at
any rate, but you'll find plenty to say in
thing.
Miss Debutante-O. l hope so.
Miss Thirdseason-Well good-by. o, do
you Know Eve got an awfully fetching new
gown, but Pm going to be magnanimous and
not wear it tonight.
Miss OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES awfully good.
Miss Thrdseason-Am not? And now,
really, good-by. I'll see you tonight.
Miss Debutante-O, yes. We'll, good
by. if you must go.
Miss irdSeason-Good-by It's awfully
comfortable to have the worry all over and
be engaged.
Miss Debutante-I supposeso. Good-by.
